Tame this Fiery Heat with These

With temps sizzling out of control this weekend, something icy cold sounds pretty good. A tasty little sangria comes to mind.

Crisp and zesty. This “White” Sangria is the perfect solution for the heat with colorful orange, lemon and lime garnish. It’s made with the inexpensive Fratelli Moscato di Asti. Make some for your next pool party! My “Wine Guy” Ralph picked up this recipe from HEB’s Cooking Connection.

Another idea from another local source. Fireman’s 4 from Real Ale!

It just might help put a damper on the blazing temps, and it’s made right up the road in Blanco. We got a tour of the Real Ale brewery that’s become the talk of Texas among beer fans!
